Some news!

First of all, apologies all for the long delay in updating the blog. It's been a fairly quiet time for the band recently since the concert in January.
Anyhow, we can now finally confirm that the Evolution Band will be headlining the very special (and free) Saffron Walden Churches Together Fun Day on the town common on Saturday 2nd June.
More info to follow soon

Photos, photos

Hi Everyone

Sorry it's taken so long (cable issues...don't ask), but I've finally got round to uploading the photos from the concert in January. There are plenty of both bands...of varying quality. Take a look at:

What a night!

Wow,

Saturday was quite something.
First off, a big thanks to Crucial Fix who provided splendid support on Saturday evening, we hope they enjoyed the concert as much as we all did. They went down a storm with the crowd of some 150+

So, the Evolution Band played a storming set running through their usual song list and with great audience participation. Particular highlights were Consuming Fire and Over the Mountains & the Sea during which Andrew gave a short message on the passage John 3:16 from the Bible.

We hope everyone enjoyed the evening as much as we all did, watch this site for photos and further reaction over the next few days, until the next time....

The final call

Last night was the final practice before Saturdays concert and rest assured the band sounded on top, top form. The vocals especially have really come together and should be a real highlight.

The sound equipment will be delivered in a matter of hours and the finishing touches are being put to the setlist and visuals. Come 7:30pm tomorrow night we'll all be ready.

We are also looking forward to welcoming our support act Crucial Fix http://www.myspace.com/crucialfix123 to Saffron Walden.

Here's hoping for a good turnout, if your in the area, get yourselves down to the Baptist Church for some real next generation worship.

Till Monday's report
